Lots of Edinburgh Gin liqueurs down to £10.99 on Amazon and the apple and spice one back down to £10

i bought it on Black Friday and can confirm it’s lovely both neat and in Prosecco

@Worriedmum42 i think it’s been answered further up that the gift card is for use in the new year and will be activated and usable then.
I’m not actually sure that I will use the gift card so actually feel like I am out of pocket for the delivery fee I’ve paid, I’m wondering whether to just email them and ask for that back

Ah thanks! I haven't been in for a couple of days so missed that.
I was thinking the same thing about just asking for postage to be refunded.

@ZIGGY911 congrats on finishing the last thread, reminds me of the old days!! 🎅🎅Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

It was always a mad dash to finish I never managed it. One of the first threads I recall was something about a fruit bowl and I'm sure the girl in the yellow hat had a baby but could be wrong! No idea how long ago that was!

Just out of interest has anyone completed the 7 day TikTok referral & got their vouchers??

for Those wondering my popcorn slab arrived yesterday - looks fab for just £3 p&p

I was just saying to my daughter how I've not seen anything about the vouchers. I found the whole process confusing though, so I may not have done it properly!

Plaidparty · 09/12/2022 10:34

Anyone got a dungeon code they don’t need? I had one, used it and they cancelled my order - now the item is back in stock! 🙄

thank you!

@Clucket87 @BloodyMabel thanks for those links. They all look perfect. I think I might need to get my tape measure out for the ones that have measurements as the sizing is so odd (as you found. With the 3-8yrs!). Just don’t want anything too small then she’ll be sad it doesn’t fit.

@ZIGGY911 I loved that you filled last thread with Christmas song. I was singing along to the posts and it made me feel christmasses! I’ve been on these thread for years (name change a lot) and have missed the ends of threads like that this year. I know people complain that it’s wasting space but new threads need started in advance so we aren’t all sitting wondering where they are (and to give reastie time to do it!) so I’ve no problem with last page or two being filled up with songs it’s festive to me!

mummysandwich · 09/12/2022 10:50

Thank you @BernardBlacksMolluscs that's tricky MIL sorted! Will give her the liqueur with a Prosecco gift set I didn't know who to give to 😂

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 09/12/2022 10:51

@1stTimeMama @Disneyland2022
I only got £2 for referring someone instead of the £17 - no idea why but it's annoying as I only joined for the vouchers 😕. I have managed to cash out though and it's immediate, but a limit on how many vouchers you can take in a day which is annoying when you have to take some of it in £1s.

@Thelifeofawife

I can't find the Blue Chlorine Nike T-shirt in a medium but this site seems to have it in a large...

www.tradeinn.com/runnerinn/en/nike-dri-fit-miler-short-sleeve-t-shirt/137483200/p

May be no use but the sizing might not be so very different.

Adelais · 09/12/2022 10:58

Barbie Fantasy Hair Doll with accessories is only £5.99 on Amazon which is a big price drop

Does arrive after Christmas though!

friskybivalves · 09/12/2022 11:01

Oh no hang on...it's also the wrong blue as well as the wrong size. Fail.

Blessedbethefruitz · 09/12/2022 11:09

Can anyone help with cheap bath bombs for kids that change the water colour? Apparently ds is no longer afraid of them (but remains fearful of bubbles....) I don't have a lush close by.

Fuckingfuckssake · 09/12/2022 11:24

@Blessedbethefruitz I saw lots in Asda yesterday or else Bomb Cosmetics are good.

SingaporeSlinky · 09/12/2022 11:26

To the poo asking, I used someone’s TikTok referral and did the daily check in and did get my £17 in Amazon vouchers. It’s not a book voucher, it’s a normal Amazon gift card, and I spent it as normal on a board game. iPad my referral code on the same thread but it doesn’t seem like anyone used mine, although I think some people (including me) did get a few errors while trying to set it up. So I don’t know if anyone ever managed to get anything extra for referring, but the £17 for signing up did work so I’m happy with that.

SingaporeSlinky · 09/12/2022 11:27

Oh god, meant to the pp asking! Sorry
and I put my, not iPad. Jeez.

You can get tablets to put in the bathwater which might be better if he doesn't like bubbles and things. They're good because the colours mix really well, so it's they can choose red and blue to make a purple bath for example. We've had these ones in the past and they were great but they seem quite pricey these days – that said they lasted us ages so are probably a bargain compared to a few bath bombs! Looking on Amazon there are some cheaper options that are still decent brands, like this and this, but I haven't tried them so can't recommend how good those ones are.

Fuckingfuckssake · 09/12/2022 11:43

Don't suppose anyone has a Boden £10 off £30 voucher? Even expired? If I could stack one with the current discount then I can justify the beautiful dress I'm coveting for my DD, obviously she doesn't need it. . . .

Squ1ggle · 09/12/2022 12:00

apologies if it's already been posted but I received a £20 off a £20 spend voucher through this morning from Celtic & Co - code is UK20XMAS which looks to be generic. only on full price items though I think

CandyCaneLane0 · 09/12/2022 12:10

Thanks for the heads up on the Edinburgh gins

Needtostartover · 09/12/2022 12:38

@Georgieporgie29 I emailed the the day before yesterday when the gift cards were sent and had a confirmation of refund from them yesterday and noticed the money is now showing in my banking app.

VeruccaSalty · 09/12/2022 12:50

Slightly random question but am going in be in London for a day on 28th Dec. First time ever for my boys (aged 6, 8 and 10) anyone know of any good bargains on activities? We just need one thing to do so they feel like they have been in London. I mean probably just a bus ride will be thrilling for them

Pawport · 09/12/2022 12:54

I joined these bargain threads nine years ago but I’m not sure if it was the first year they were going. If it was, next year is the bargain threads ten year anniversary 🥳🥳🥳 I can remember my youngest was only 2 and I managed to kit her out in gorgeous bargain pumpkin patch clothes off the back of the thread. I must’ve saved hundreds over the years on different things.

Wolfcub · 09/12/2022 12:55

@VeruccaSalty why not try for skygarden tickets. It's free and definitely will help them see London from on high
